What is freehold?

Higher Charaton Park is a very unique offering in that the freehold is being sold with the lodge! One of the main advantages but certainly not the only one, is that that the value of the lodge will not drastically decrease as it reaches its final years of a lease, as it would on any other park – there is no lease! There are also no site fee’s to pay ever and no financial penalty if you were to sell the home on.

Freehold is the complete
ownership of a piece of land and that which is built upon it – the owner
‘holds’ it ‘freely’. When buying a freehold property you are completely in
charge of the building, what happens to it, how it’s used and it is your
responsibility for any repairs or upkeep. This is in comparison to leasehold, where you own the property, but the land the
property on is being ‘leased’ from the leaseholder.

When
buying a freehold property, you are buying the entirety of the land, and the
property on it.

The advantages of a
freehold

Freeholds are usually houses,
however they can be holiday lodges. The advantage of a freehold property is
that you have complete control over it, and are not subject to any further
payments, like ground rents, which can be the case with leasehold properties.
When you buy a freehold property, you can know exactly what you’re paying,
there is no relationship with any other owner, and you know you will not be
subject to any charges in the future. There will be no limitations on what you
can do with your home (smoking, pets, building work) as there may be with a
leasehold property. There is also no time limit to worry about – with a
leasehold there can be a countdown to a possibly expensive renewal, or a fear
of decreasing value as the lease runs out, whereas buying freehold is permanent
and the value of land generally increases.

With Higher Charaton Park there will be other owners who will have a stake in the communal areas of the land so a standard agreement will be put in place to provide some guidance for site rules, maintenance schedules and costs, however ultimately it will be you, the owners, who have the final say.

Filmed on a cold November morning, Higher Charaton Park looks just as appealing than ever!

Our newest show home was fully complete, the hot tub in and filled and a misty atmospheric sky – what else could we possibly need? We called Pathfinder Homes‘ resident photographer and asked him to help us out! The result… a fabulous video showing off our park!

Watch the video here…

Using a combination of Drones, Go Pros, iPhones and maybe a regular camera?? The footage was created in just a few hours and we are pretty pleased with the result. Don’t forget we are hosting an Open Day on March 14th, 10am – 4pm. Come along and explore the park yourself – we can’t wait to see you!

On Saturday 30th November at 10am we opened the gates to Higher Charaton Park for the very first time! Having canvassed locally, we were hoping to welcome residents of the surrounding area and show them what all the fuss is about, we also prepared for photography to kick start the Marketing Campaign.

The day was a great success and we warmly welcomed many perspective customers and locals alike! We were proud to show people around our beautiful Show Home, share the park landscape and show future plans. We treated our guests to mulled wine and mince pies offering a festive twist to those who braved the cold weather. Whilst it’s never easy to accept change, feedback from the locals was incredibly positive especially as our Managing Director Bruce MacDonald shared his clear vision.

Further enhancing this by allowing pets will only help increase the already high demand we would expect for the lodges.
